What if your nervous system didn't believe it was safe to want something just for you? In Episode 138 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin is joined by life coach Cecelia Mandryk (@ceceliabmandryk) to continue our series on How to Take Care of Yourself. Together, they explore the difference between dopamine-driven quick fixes and the courageous work of sustained self-care. Cecelia offers powerful tools and reframes that help high-functioning people make their minds a calmer, safer place to be. Erin and Cecelia talk about: Why identifying what YOU want can feel threatening when you've learned to meet everyone else's expectations How our culture of outrage keeps us stuck—and how to move from reactivity to empowered action A step-by-step walk-through of tending to your nervous system when you're feeling overwhelmed or angry The magic of nervous system regulation (even when your brain tells you it won't work) Why the actions you take from empowerment might look the same as outrage-driven ones—but feel completely different ✨ “You can't choose something better until you know what you're choosing.” — this quote from Cecelia hit me hard and stayed with me. You'll also hear: A grounded reminder from Walt Whitman that it's okay to be a contradiction My frustration with the way self-care has been co-opted by consumerism—and how Cecelia helped me reframe that into compassion A call to reclaim self-care as simple, nourishing, and deeply powerful This is a conversation for anyone feeling burned out, stuck in rage or fear, or unsure how to move forward without losing themselves.

This episode of The Happier Life Project explores the idea that living well might not come from doing more, achieving more, or constantly striving; but from embracing less. What if the key to a fulfilling life lies not in endless productivity, but in recognizing our limitations and finding peace in the life we already have? Bestselling author of ‘Four Thousand Weeks' and ‘The Antidote' Oliver Burkeman joins the show to talk about his newest release, ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts'. A former Guardian columnist and contributor to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and New Philosopher, Burkeman is known for his deep, compassionate insights on time, mortality, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. This conversation delves into the psychological strain of relentless self-improvement, the illusion of ever having everything under control and being on-top of things, and the calm that emerges when we stop chasing the idea of finally having everything figured out. Burkeman challenges the very premise that life can ever be truly mastered, and the damaging belief that we're somehow incomplete until we do. Instead, he invites us to let go of the idealised life and begin a more liberating journey, grounded in acceptance and intention. Chatting to host Gabby Sanderson, Oliver shares how changing our relationship with avoided tasks can create a surprising sense of freedom, and how embracing our limitations can lead to greater clarity, connection, and purpose. The “recovering productivity geek” also reflects on why being truly present matters more than chasing endless to-do lists, why fearing the future is futile, and how accepting the limits of time might be the most liberating shift we can make. This episode offers grounded, thoughtful insights for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and looking for a calmer, more meaningful way to live.

In episode 137 of Medium Lady Talks we continue the How to Take Care of Yourself series, I'm joined by surface designer and illustrator Devon Bennett of PencilsnParsley. Together, we explore how making something just for the joy of it — no fancy supplies, no pressure — can be a powerful form of creative self-care. Devon reminds us that you don't have to be an artist to start creating. You don't even have to look at your finished piece! It's about the process, not the outcome — and it's in that process that you'll often find clarity, calm, and emotional release. We cover: Devon's early creative spark with her self-published childhood comic Oh Corncob! Why Devon recommends Find Your Artistic Voice by Lisa Congdon to anyone rediscovering their creativity How creating without judgment builds emotional resilience and strengthens self-trust Devon's practice of using art to process anxiety — and how she even brings her drawings to therapy sessions The magic of starting with what you have — just set a timer, grab whatever supplies are nearby, and get messy! The importance of practicing non-judgment when making art (and why progress is happening, even when you can't see it) One of Devon's favorite mottos: "The only wasted paint is what's left in the tube." How Devon approaches resistance to creativity with compassion, not criticism Why Devon's positive affirmation sticker series is all about encouragement and gentle growth Final advice on how to make time for creativity even in busy seasons — and the reminder that there are multiple ways to be consistent. Plus, I share one of my favorite quotes from Gretchen Rubin: "A thing that can be done anytime is often done at no time." — a gentle nudge to carve out a little time for creativity today. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned: Find Devon's work, stickers, and art for sale: PencilsnParsley.com Support Devon's creative journey on Patreon Follow Devon's playful art adventures on YouTube Shorts Book rec: Find Your Artistic Voice by Lisa Congdon

There wasn't a better way for the Green Bay Packers to break one of their longest-running customs Thursday night. With Green Bay, Wisconsin at the center of the NFL world by hosting the 2025 NFL Draft, the Packers seized on the moment when Packers president Mark Murphy announced that the team selected wide receiver Matthew Golden out of the University of Texas. The last time the Packers took a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft was Javon Walker out of Florida State back in 2002. Furthermore, the Packers have now taken a wide receiver five times in the first round of the NFL Draft since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. The previous four were Barry Smith in 1973, James Lofton in 1978, Sterling Sharpe in 1988 and Walker in 2022. Yeah, it's a pretty big deal. The Packers' wide receiver room goes into next season with Golden, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Mecole Hardman, Malik Heath and Bo Melton. Christian Watson will obviously go into the year sidelined as he continues to recover from his torn ACL, so fortifying this wideout group was big on the Packers' list of roster needs. Join Jordan Treske as he goes through a running draft night diary. And there's a special appearance from our good friend Numac as they react to the Packers' first round pick!Visit GSPN.info subscribe to the Premium GSPN Substack to receive ad-free GSPN episodes, exclusive written articles and weekly episodes of “GSPN After Dark.” Thanks to South Loonier, Justin Saeian and Ben Kolp for being Founding Members.

Here are five practical ways to slow down and savor life, helping you create more balance, joy, and mindfulness in your personal and entrepreneurial journey. Life moves FAST, doesn't it? If we're not careful, we get swept up in the hustle, always chasing the next thing, and suddenly, we realize we haven't truly enjoyed our days. I've been there, pushing, striving, and forgetting to pause. But this year, I'm making a conscious effort to slow down, reflect, and soak in life's little joys. If you're feeling stretched thin, you are NOT alone. Let's do this together! Here are five ways we can all slow down and savor life. Action Plan: 1 - Prioritize What Matters Most: Do a time audit, set boundaries, and make sure your daily actions reflect what's truly important. 2 - Be Mindful in the Present Moment: Take a deep breath, engage your senses, and stop letting distractions pull you away from what really matters. 3 - Simplify Your Day: Clear the clutter from your schedule, cut out unnecessary tasks, and create routines that bring ease instead of stress. 4 - Make Time for Joyful Activities: Schedule FUN into your week, say "yes" to spontaneous moments, and do the things that fill your cup. 5 - Practice Gratitude for the Small Things:  Keep a gratitude journal, notice the little joys in each day, and share your appreciation with others.

There are only so many hours in a day, as the saying goes. That's the focus of a new book that addresses fundamental questions about how we live. On this week's “All About Books” a look at, “Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts” by Oliver Burkeman.

We live in a busy world. If we aren't in a meeting, or working on a project, or going to an appointment – we are looking at our phones, or answering emails, or hopping on a video conference. Technology has made work accessible ALL. THE. TIME. Not just from nine to five. But as Mahatma Gandhi once said, “there is more to life than increasing its speed.” So, how about you? Are you running so fast that you are missing the things God has in store for your day? Try intentionally slowing down and scheduling in blank space on your calendar. When you do, you may be surprised by the connections and conversations you are able to have. When we make time for people, the Lord opens incredible ministry opportunities. Who does God want you to speak to today?

She shares her insights on how not maintaining these can lead to increased anxiety and a sense of overwhelm due to external expectations, judgments, and criticisms. Dr. Li emphasizes the importance of having the ability to filter what should and shouldn't impact us, keeping most outside influences out of our "anxiety bucket." Throughout the episode, she shares personal experiences, particularly a visit to the ER, to illustrate the power and necessity of self-advocacy and using one's voice. Additionally, she offers practices for better preserving self-respect and boundaries and introduces a helpful tool, the VoicePal app, which assists in generating affirmations to reinforce these practices.

In this episode of The Art of Charm, we sit down with bestselling author and productivity renegade Oliver Burkeman to unpack his refreshingly honest approach to time, ambition, and self-worth. Drawing from his latest book Meditations for Mortals, Oliver introduces a new philosophy he calls Imperfectionism — a radical shift from hustle culture and perfection paralysis. We discuss the psychology of high achievers who constantly feel behind, the traps of productivity debt, and how letting go of perfection can paradoxically lead to real momentum, deeper relationships, and a more meaningful life. If you're constantly stuck between ambition and exhaustion, trying to “optimize” your way into fulfillment, this conversation might just be the permission slip you didn't know you needed. What to Listen For [00:00] Why all decisions come with a downside — and why that's freeing [00:03:55] What is “Imperfectionism,” and how can it help you escape productivity traps? [00:08:05] How comparison and perfectionism stop you from building meaningful connections [00:13:52] Why authenticity beats polish — in branding, leadership, and life [00:22:46] “Productivity debt” — and how it silently undermines your confidence [00:29:18] What is decision hunting, and how does it unlock real momentum? [00:33:55] Why one small outreach can reconnect you to a lost part of yourself [00:40:25] The surprising key to building lasting habits (hint: it's not willpower) [00:44:00] The “Reverse Golden Rule” that every people-pleaser needs to hear [00:53:36] Oliver's favorite meditation for starting from sanity Episode Takeaways: You're not lazy — you're stuck in the illusion of finding a perfect decision. Accepting your finitude might be your greatest advantage. Momentum doesn't come from thinking your way into action. Start small. Make a decision. Any decision. The most powerful personal brand you can build is the one where you drop the mask. If your perfectionism is driving your productivity, it's probably also driving your burnout. You can't outsource meaning — you have to make the hard trade-offs and choose your consequences intentionally. Start embodying who you want to be now, not later. Even 10 minutes a day can shift your identity. A Word From Our Sponsors Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?

Buried in Day-to-Day Tasks? Learn How Deep Work Sessions Can Boost Your Productivity and Business Results What if I told you that dedicating just one day a month to deep work could completely change your business trajectory? In this episode, I'm sharing why deep work – focused, distraction-free time for high-impact activities – is the key to making those strategic decisions that will truly grow your business! Too many entrepreneurs (myself included!) spend time reacting rather than intentionally designing their business growth. I remember spending almost a year in reaction mode – something happened, I fixed it, something else happened, I troubleshooted...and I promise you, it was not my best revenue year! In this episode, I walk you through my clear framework for making deep work a habit and share real examples of how it's revolutionized my business – from creating an amazing leadership team to making tough decisions about downsizing. These weren't always comfortable choices, but they've absolutely set my business up to thrive. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Deep Work Creates Clarity – When you remove distractions, you can make those important decisions with confidence! It's all about working ON your business, not IN it – that's how you know you're doing it right. 2️⃣ One Day a Month is a Game Changer – Imagine 12 strategic work days in a year. They add up, especially since most of us never make time for this! You don't have time for deep work – you MAKE time for it. 3️⃣ Your Environment Matters – If you feel distracted at home (or tempted to take a nap – no judgement!), change your location. Set boundaries with your team, turn off notifications, and avoid "fake productivity" that keeps you in the weeds.

Not totally sure how tariffs work, who pays for them and how they’re collected? Look no further. In today's episode, Kai and Nova answer these questions and more.
